OpenAI Is Bringing an AI-Driven Feature-Length Animated Movie to Cannes

The project aims to lean heavily on AI... with tools like DALL·E and GPT‑5 to accelerate production. Their goals include completing the film in just nine months with a modest budget of under $30 million, and a team of around 30 people.
Human artists will still contribute sketches, and voice actors will bring the characters to life.
I think this is kind of crazy... nine months and $30 million?
Open-source AI can already do this right now... and for free.
Anyone with a laptop and a crazy obsession can make an AI film.
YouTubers already have... Z-tier movie AI nightmares. Just spin, post, and pray. : P
I’ve seen a few... still recovering lol.
I guess OpenAI wants to be recognized as the first...
though, in reality they wouldn't be... lol.
